Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the grip range of these rivets?
These are multigrip rivets, designed to cover a wider span of thicknesses than standard rivets, though you should verify the specific thickness of your material stack against the 16mm length.
Do I need a special tool for these?
Yes, you need a standard hand-operated or pneumatic rivet gun compatible with 4.0mm diameter rivets.
Can these be used on wood?
While primarily designed for metal-to-metal or metal-to-plastic applications, they can be used with wood if a pilot hole is pre-drilled and the material is thin enough.
Are these rivets rust-resistant?
JRP rivets are designed for durability, but exposure to harsh outdoor or saline environments may require additional protective coatings.
What size drill bit should I use?
A 4.1mm or 4.2mm drill bit is typically recommended for a 4.0mm rivet to ensure a smooth, secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Rivet feels loose after installation
Ensure the pilot hole is not too large and that the materials are clamped tightly together before riveting.
Mandrel does not break off cleanly
Check that the rivet gun nozzle is the correct size for a 4.0mm rivet and that the gun is functioning with sufficient power.
Rivet head is pulling through the material
The hole may have been drilled too wide; consider using a backing washer to distribute force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Drill a pilot hole slightly larger (typically 0.1mm to 0.2mm) than the 4.0mm diameter of the rivet.
Installation: Insert the rivet through the components, then use a standard manual or pneumatic rivet gun to engage the mandrel.
Application: Apply consistent pressure until the mandrel snaps off, indicating the rivet is fully set.
Maintenance: Store unused rivets in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and ensure the material maintains its structural integrity for future use.
